Forensic Engineering in Lake County, IL
Around Lake County, soft compressible clays under fill make settlement the design question and laboratory testing the answer. Distress investigations on Lake County properties keep custody intact from day one, keeping the Illinois evidence trail unbroken. Petrographic examination of Lake County concrete reads the material's history, so responsibility on IL matters follows the facts. Coverage in Lake County is project-based, and Illinois requirements are settled before mobilization, not after.

FAQ · Lake County
Who performs the investigation?
Field sampling, coring, and laboratory testing are performed by our certified technicians and laboratory. Engineering evaluation, opinions, and any expert testimony are performed by licensed engineers engaged for the matter, so the deliverable is sealed by the professional whose name is on it.
When should we call — before or after the lawyers?
Before. Physical evidence degrades, gets repaired, or gets demolished. Getting cores, samples, and photo documentation captured under a defensible chain of custody early is what keeps the technical record intact regardless of where the dispute goes.
Can you investigate a project you also tested?
Not without disclosure. If we performed the acceptance testing on the same project, we will say so up front — an independent investigator is usually the right call, and we will help you find one.
